Revisiting the (V/sigma)-epsilon anisotropy diagram of early-type galaxies using integral-field kinematics

M. Cappellari, R. Bacon, M. Bureau +11

We use integral-field observation of the stellar kinematics obtained with SAURON in combination with Schwarzschild dynamical models to revisit our understanding of the classic (V/s…

The Nuclear Orbital Distribution in Galaxies as Fossil Record of Black Hole Formation from Integral-Field Spectroscopy

Michele Cappellari, Richard McDermid

In the past decade, most effort in the study of supermassive black holes (BHs) has been devoted to measuring their masses. This lead to the finding of the tight M_BH-sigma relation…

SAURON dynamical modeling of NGC 2974

Davor Krajnovic, Michele Cappellari, Eric Emsellem +2

We present dynamical modeling of nearby E4 galaxy NGC 2974. The galaxy was observed with the integral-field spectrograph SAURON. An axisymmetric stellar dynamical model is construc…

Orbital structure of triaxial galaxies

Glenn van de Ven, Ellen Verolme, Michele Cappellari +1

We have developed a method to construct realistic triaxial dynamical models for elliptical galaxies, allowing us to derive best-fitting parameters, such as the mass-to-light ratio…

Dynamical Modeling of SAURON Galaxies

M. Cappellari, R. C. E. van den Bosch, E. K. Verolme +11

We describe our program for the dynamical modeling of early-type galaxies observed with the panoramic integral-field spectrograph SAURON. We are using Schwarzschild's numerical orb…

SAURON: Observations of E/S0/Sa galaxies

H. Kuntschner, R. Bacon, M. Bureau +9

We present results from a new and unique integral-field spectrograph, SAURON. It has a large field of view and high throughput and is primarily built for the study of stellar & gas…
